Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez has responded to ongoing transfer speculation linking him to Liverpool with a resolute statement following his team's 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.
The 21-year-old Hungarian international, who scored in stoppage time during the match, took to Instagram to post, "I talk on the pitch," accompanied by a celebratory image.
Kerkez's performance and subsequent message have intensified rumors of a potential move to Anfield. Liverpool's interest in the defender is reportedly influenced by the presence of their director of football, Richard Hughes, who previously signed Kerkez for Bournemouth, and Hungarian teammate Dominik Szoboszlai, who commented on Kerkez's post with, "Yes my son," followed by a red heart emoji.
Despite the speculation, Bournemouth has maintained a firm stance on retaining Kerkez, setting a £45 million price tag and expressing no intention to sell during the January transfer window.
Kerkez himself addressed the rumors directly, stating in a live YouTube stream, "I will not go to Liverpool. For everybody listening, I will not go to Liverpool," suggesting any potential move would not occur mid-season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Kerkez's future remains a topic of interest, with his recent performances and connections to Liverpool's management and players keeping the speculation alive.
